From Ighomuaye Lucky, Benin
Leadership of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Akoko-Edo constituency, yesterday, protested the imposition of chairmanship candidate on them.
They said the action negates the party’s directive that says aspirant must win his ward before contesting for the chairmanship position in the forthcoming local government election in the state.
In a protest letter signed by Sunny Okomayin and presented to Osasere Adagbonyin, administrative secretary, Edo State chapter of PDP at the party’s secretariat in Benin, for onward delivery to the party’s chairman, Anthony Aziegbemi, entitled: “Restoration of stolen mandate,” said the Akoko-Edo constituency vehemently kicked against the attempt to superimpose the person of Tajudeen Alade on Sylvester Amune who won the local government chairmanship primary.
Okomayin said Amune won the primary and EDSIEC has declared him winner and even went as far as publishing his name.
